The Nautilus Expedition(探险) to the Cayman Islands
Hi! I'm Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy!
Day 1: August 15th
Wow! I can't believe I'm actually here on Nautilus. I'm one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus's four-day expedition to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell about where we're going and what we'll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course!
Day 2: August 16th
What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck(残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge—that's where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area.
Day 3: August 17th
This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing—I feel like a real famous person now! The afternoon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm , and we all felt very seasick!
Day 4: August 18th
This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I'm sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I'm excited to explore the islands and the waters!

A．Moved. B．Worried. C．Excited. D．Doubtful.

I recently read Pablo Picasso's quote, "I'm always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." It reminded me of myself—and how I do, learn, and improve. I recalled one of my earliest memories of doing before learning: baking scones(烤饼) when I was 10 years old. I wanted to bake scones for my mom.
I always sat at the kitchen table when my mom baked, and I had observed her process numerous times. She always used a recipe book and followed the process carefully. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough (面团) with my hands too much once I had added the baking powder(发酵粉). However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because I had repeated it in my mind hundreds of times.
As my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection—flat, as a result of over-handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom praised me for my attempt, rather than blaming me for the state of the kitchen, which was a surprise! That night she told my dad how proud she was, and what a good job I'd done. Over time, she taught me the finer tricks of baking and cooking.
My habit of doing before learning still stands me in good stead. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I learn as I go on, and I've often been able to help others because I've gone through the process of learning from beginning to end. What I discovered from my experience is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn, and when it's probably better to learn and then do!
4．How did the author learn to bake at first
A．She taught herself.
B．She watched the cooking videos.
C．She learned it from the recipe book.
D．She followed her mother's instructions.
5．How did the author's mother feel about her baking

6．What can be learned about the author from the last paragraph
A．She was skilled at programming.
B．She benefited a lot from her habit.
C．She recommended her habit to others.
D．She had good arrangements for her time.
7．What's the best title for this text
A．My favorite quotes B．Do. Learn. Improve
C．Apply theories to practice D．My attempt at baking scones
（2024高一下·信宜月考） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Music is all around us. It's an accessible and popular art form which accompanies our daily lives. Advertisers have long understood the popularity and emotional power of music and capitalized on it. They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales. For example, Microsoft spent a reported US$3 million using Start Me Up as part of their advertising campaign for Windows 95.
As one researcher puts it, "Music expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source." This is supported by other studies, which suggest that music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. This is known as "musical congruity" and can result in better attention, a positive emotional response, finally improving the effectiveness of an advertisement.
Take the simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart's Piano Concerto No.23, for example. It projects greatness and elegance in the hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. The research, which looked at hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising, suggested it was successful.
Music is also effective at arousing (唤醒) emotional memories in advertisements creates associations with consumers' past experiences. A good choice of music allows businesses to tap into this nostalgia for commercial benefit.
However, the use of popular music in advertising can also arouse arguments between artistic effort and commercialism. Some people believe a work of art shouldn't be used for the pursuit of profit. The findings of study showed that consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements, as they believe that it destroys the aesthetic integrity (美学完整性). For example, Nike's use of the Beatles' song Revolution was seen by some as using John Lennon's music to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products.
8．What does the underlined phrase "capitalized on" in paragraph 1 mean
A．Taken advantage of. B．Held on to.
C．Checked up on. D．Cried out for.
9．What can we know about "musical congruity" according to the text
A．It helps cut down the cost of advertising.
B．It reminds consumers of their past experiences.
C．It makes advertisements much more convincing.
D．It explores the relationship between music and digital art.
10．Which word can best describe the author's attitude to the use of music in advertising
A．Tolerant B．Unclear C．Doubtful D．Objective

With the rapid development of science and technology, we don't know how different our life will be in the future. 11． .
At first we think about human relationships. In the year2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. 12． On the other hand, our relationship with people won't be as important as they are today--we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in
2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
13． Traveling to other planets or to the moon will also be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. 14． And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather confident about our future. 15． .
A. We can only imagine it.
B. It will be much faster and easier for us.
C. Our environment will be more polluted.
D. However, we are convinced of the following.
E. Spending holidays will also be completely different.

A Gift Beyond Measure
At an early age, I was crazy about music, dreaming of possessing a piano on which I could practice and play in the way a famous pianist did on the stage. Later when I was getting older, on my way to school, there was an instrument shop that I passed by almost every day. When I saw through the window, in the corner of the shop stood a nice piano which would always attract my eyes so deeply that I even forgot everything around me.
To my sadness, my family was truly struggling. In that period, my mother was laid off from her position and my father was only a clerk in a company. It was just a matter of getting by on a low income, not to mention buying me an expensive piano though they knew I was eager to play that piano so much. The increasing wrinkles(皱纹) in my father's face even stopped me from having this thought.
Then one day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, the piano had gone! It was a big surprise. Someone had purchased the piano that I would stare at almost every day! I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. However, at the thought of not being able to see that piano any more, tears filled my eyes.
Upset and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. I felt as though something had been stolen in my heart. After what seemed a year, I returned home, dragging(拖) my heavy legs. Hardly had I just gone into the house when my mother called my name. Brushing away my tears, I followed the sound of her voice into the dining room.
注意：1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I couldn't imagine what was happening in front of me.
Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face.

50．【答案】achievements
【知识点】可数名词
51．【答案】belong；to
【知识点】固定短语；一般现在时；主谓一致；汉译英
【解析】【分析】句意： 狮子属于猫科。 根据中英文对照可知，缺少"属于"，belong to。根据句子结构和语境分析可知，空处为句子的谓语，表示"属于"，为固定短语belong to，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，根据主谓一致原则可知，主语Lions是复数，谓语动词belong应用原形，故填belong ；to。
【点评】考查汉译英，时态（一般现在时），主谓一致以及固定短语belong to"属于"。注意：词汇的选择是翻译中的关键环节。在汉译英时，要根据原文的含义和语境，选择最恰当的英文词汇进行翻译。这要求同学们具备丰富的词汇量，并了解不同词汇在不同语境中的用法和含义。同时，还需要注意词汇的搭配和习惯用法，以确保译文的准确性和流畅性。

54．【答案】Now；that
【知识点】原因状语从句；汉译英

【点评】考查原因状语从句的引导词now that"既然"。注意：汉语和英语的句式结构存在差异。在汉译英时，要根据英语的表达习惯，对原文的句式结构进行适当的转换。例如，汉语中常用主动语态，而英语中则更多地使用被动语态；汉语中喜欢使用流水句，而英语则更注重句子之间的逻辑关系和层次感。因此，在翻译过程中，要灵活调整句式结构，使译文更符合英语的表达习惯。
55．【答案】set；off
【知识点】固定短语；动词原形；过去将来时；汉译英
【解析】【分析】句意： 她说她第二天早上就要动身去北京了。根据中英文对照可知，缺少"出发"，set off。根据句子结构和语境分析可知， "would 12(出发)"为宾语从句的谓语， "出发"为动词短语set off，由空前的情态动词would可知，空处的动词set应用原形，构成过去将来时，故填set；off。
【点评】考查汉译英，时态（过去将来时）以及固定短语set off"出发"。注意：时态和语态是英语中的重要语法范畴。在汉译英时，要准确判断原文的时态和语态，并在译文中正确运用。例如，原文描述的是过去发生的事情，那么译文就应该使用过去时态；原文表达的是被动意义，那么译文就应该使用被动语态。只有正确运用时态和语态，才能确保译文的准确性和连贯性。
56．【答案】has improved
【知识点】现在完成时；主谓一致
57．【答案】occasions
【知识点】可数名词
58．【答案】excited
【知识点】以-ed结尾的形容词；形容词的用法
59．【答案】where
【知识点】关系副词引导定语从句的用法；非限制性定语从句
【解析】【分析】句意：我把车停在停车场，在那里我可以给汽车电池充电。根据语境分析可知，空后为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词park，且先行词park在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
【点评】考查定语从句。注意： 在解题过程中，首先要正确判断是不是定语从句，若是疑问句要将其恢复为陈述句，尤其注意标点符号、和是否已有并列连词(如but, and)和从属连词如(if, when)，还要注意是否是强调结构。 在确定是定语从句后，就要找准先行词，看它是指人还是指物，是时间还是地点。 要弄清先行词在定语从句中作什么成分。最后，再根据关系词各自的用法特点去确定恰当的关系词。
60．【答案】to
【知识点】固定短语

62．【答案】I couldn't imagine what was happening in front of me. Standing there in the room was the very piano I had been longing for day and night. With excitement and surprise in my heart, I couldn't stop tears streaming down my face. My mother came over to me, saying they knew the piano was what I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to make my dream come true. I was about to say something when there was a sound of footsteps.
Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face. I gave him a big hug. "It's so nice of you, Dad!" I said. I could not imagine how much effort he had made and how hard he was working every day. Maybe only the wrinkles on his face could tell me everything. My father kissed me on the forehead, whispering that he had earned enough to buy the piano at last. Only then did I realize that no gift could measure up to a father's love.

The Nautilus Expedition(探险) to the Cayman Islands
Hi! I'm Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy!
Day 1: August 15th
Wow! I can't believe I'm actually here on Nautilus. I'm one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus's four-day expedition to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell about where we're going and what we'll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course!
Day 2: August 16th
What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck(残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge—that's where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area.
Day 3: August 17th
This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing—I feel like a real famous person now! The afternoon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm , and we all felt very seasick!
Day 4: August 18th
This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I'm sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I'm excited to explore the islands and the waters!

I recently read Pablo Picasso's quote, "I'm always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." It reminded me of myself—and how I do, learn, and improve. I recalled one of my earliest memories of doing before learning: baking scones(烤饼) when I was 10 years old. I wanted to bake scones for my mom.
I always sat at the kitchen table when my mom baked, and I had observed her process numerous times. She always used a recipe book and followed the process carefully. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough (面团) with my hands too much once I had added the baking powder(发酵粉). However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because I had repeated it in my mind hundreds of times.
As my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection—flat, as a result of over-handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom praised me for my attempt, rather than blaming me for the state of the kitchen, which was a surprise! That night she told my dad how proud she was, and what a good job I'd done. Over time, she taught me the finer tricks of baking and cooking.
My habit of doing before learning still stands me in good stead. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I learn as I go on, and I've often been able to help others because I've gone through the process of learning from beginning to end. What I discovered from my experience is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn, and when it's probably better to learn and then do!
4．How did the author learn to bake at first
A．She taught herself.
B．She watched the cooking videos.
C．She learned it from the recipe book.
D．She followed her mother's instructions.

6．What can be learned about the author from the last paragraph
A．She was skilled at programming.
B．She benefited a lot from her habit.
C．She recommended her habit to others.
D．She had good arrangements for her time.
7．What's the best title for this text
A．My favorite quotes B．Do. Learn. Improve
C．Apply theories to practice D．My attempt at baking scones

Music is all around us. It's an accessible and popular art form which accompanies our daily lives. Advertisers have long understood the popularity and emotional power of music and capitalized on it. They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales. For example, Microsoft spent a reported US$3 million using Start Me Up as part of their advertising campaign for Windows 95.
As one researcher puts it, "Music expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source." This is supported by other studies, which suggest that music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. This is known as "musical congruity" and can result in better attention, a positive emotional response, finally improving the effectiveness of an advertisement.
Take the simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart's Piano Concerto No.23, for example. It projects greatness and elegance in the hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. The research, which looked at hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising, suggested it was successful.
Music is also effective at arousing (唤醒) emotional memories in advertisements creates associations with consumers' past experiences. A good choice of music allows businesses to tap into this nostalgia for commercial benefit.
However, the use of popular music in advertising can also arouse arguments between artistic effort and commercialism. Some people believe a work of art shouldn't be used for the pursuit of profit. The findings of study showed that consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements, as they believe that it destroys the aesthetic integrity (美学完整性). For example, Nike's use of the Beatles' song Revolution was seen by some as using John Lennon's music to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products.
8．What does the underlined phrase "capitalized on" in paragraph 1 mean
A．Taken advantage of. B．Held on to.
C．Checked up on. D．Cried out for.
9．What can we know about "musical congruity" according to the text
A．It helps cut down the cost of advertising.
B．It reminds consumers of their past experiences.
C．It makes advertisements much more convincing.
D．It explores the relationship between music and digital art.
10．Which word can best describe the author's attitude to the use of music in advertising
A．Tolerant B．Unclear C．Doubtful D．Objective

With the rapid development of science and technology, we don't know how different our life will be in the future. 11． .
At first we think about human relationships. In the year2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. 12． On the other hand, our relationship with people won't be as important as they are today--we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in

13． Traveling to other planets or to the moon will also be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. 14． And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather confident about our future. 15． .
A. We can only imagine it.

51．（2024高一下·信宜月考） Lions (属于) cat family.
【答案】belong；to
【知识点】固定短语；一般现在时；主谓一致；汉译英
【解析】【分析】句意： 狮子属于猫科。 根据中英文对照可知，缺少"属于"，belong to。根据句子结构和语境分析可知，空处为句子的谓语，表示"属于"，为固定短语belong to，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，根据主谓一致原则可知，主语Lions是复数，谓语动词belong应用原形，故填belong ；to。
【点评】考查汉译英，时态（一般现在时），主谓一致以及固定短语belong to"属于"。注意：词汇的选择是翻译中的关键环节。在汉译英时，要根据原文的含义和语境，选择最恰当的英文词汇进行翻译。这要求同学们具备丰富的词汇量，并了解不同词汇在不同语境中的用法和含义。同时，还需要注意词汇的搭配和习惯用法，以确保译文的准确性和流畅性。

【解析】【分析】句意： 你不用为晚餐刻意打扮。根据中英文对照可知，缺少"穿上盛装"，dress up。根据汉语提示，空处为dress up"穿上盛装"，为不及物动词短语，up作副词修饰dress。空前有不定式符号to，第一空应用动词原形。故填dress；up。
【点评】考查汉译英以及固定短语dress up"穿上盛装"。注意：在汉译英时，应选择与原文意思最接近、最符合中文表达习惯的词汇。同时，要注意词汇的感彩和褒贬意义。
54．（2024高一下·信宜月考） (既然) I am free, I can enjoy music for a while.

【点评】考查原因状语从句的引导词now that"既然"。注意：汉语和英语的句式结构存在差异。在汉译英时，要根据英语的表达习惯，对原文的句式结构进行适当的转换。例如，汉语中常用主动语态，而英语中则更多地使用被动语态；汉语中喜欢使用流水句，而英语则更注重句子之间的逻辑关系和层次感。因此，在翻译过程中，要灵活调整句式结构，使译文更符合英语的表达习惯。
55．（2024高一下·信宜月考） She said she would (出发) for Beijing next morning.
【答案】set；off
【知识点】固定短语；动词原形；过去将来时；汉译英
【解析】【分析】句意： 她说她第二天早上就要动身去北京了。根据中英文对照可知，缺少"出发"，set off。根据句子结构和语境分析可知， "would 12(出发)"为宾语从句的谓语， "出发"为动词短语set off，由空前的情态动词would可知，空处的动词set应用原形，构成过去将来时，故填set；off。
【点评】考查汉译英，时态（过去将来时）以及固定短语set off"出发"。注意：时态和语态是英语中的重要语法范畴。在汉译英时，要准确判断原文的时态和语态，并在译文中正确运用。例如，原文描述的是过去发生的事情，那么译文就应该使用过去时态；原文表达的是被动意义，那么译文就应该使用被动语态。只有正确运用时态和语态，才能确保译文的准确性和连贯性。
七、第三节 单句语法填空（共 5 小题；每空 1 分，满分 5 分）

59．（2024高一下·信宜月考） I had my car parked in a car park, I could get my car battery charged.
【答案】where
【知识点】关系副词引导定语从句的用法；非限制性定语从句
【解析】【分析】句意：我把车停在停车场，在那里我可以给汽车电池充电。根据语境分析可知，空后为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词park，且先行词park在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
【点评】考查定语从句。注意： 在解题过程中，首先要正确判断是不是定语从句，若是疑问句要将其恢复为陈述句，尤其注意标点符号、和是否已有并列连词(如but, and)和从属连词如(if, when)，还要注意是否是强调结构。 在确定是定语从句后，就要找准先行词，看它是指人还是指物，是时间还是地点。 要弄清先行词在定语从句中作什么成分。最后，再根据关系词各自的用法特点去确定恰当的关系词。

A Gift Beyond Measure
At an early age, I was crazy about music, dreaming of possessing a piano on which I could practice and play in the way a famous pianist did on the stage. Later when I was getting older, on my way to school, there was an instrument shop that I passed by almost every day. When I saw through the window, in the corner of the shop stood a nice piano which would always attract my eyes so deeply that I even forgot everything around me.
To my sadness, my family was truly struggling. In that period, my mother was laid off from her position and my father was only a clerk in a company. It was just a matter of getting by on a low income, not to mention buying me an expensive piano though they knew I was eager to play that piano so much. The increasing wrinkles(皱纹) in my father's face even stopped me from having this thought.
Then one day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, the piano had gone! It was a big surprise. Someone had purchased the piano that I would stare at almost every day! I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. However, at the thought of not being able to see that piano any more, tears filled my eyes.
Upset and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. I felt as though something had been stolen in my heart. After what seemed a year, I returned home, dragging(拖) my heavy legs. Hardly had I just gone into the house when my mother called my name. Brushing away my tears, I followed the sound of her voice into the dining room.
注意：1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I couldn't imagine what was happening in front of me.
Then the door opened and my father appeared, with a big smile on his wrinkled face.
【答案】I couldn't imagine what was happening in front of me. Standing there in the room was the very piano I had been longing for day and night. With excitement and surprise in my heart, I couldn't stop tears streaming down my face. My mother came over to me, saying they knew the piano was what I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to make my dream come true.
